Back on Jan 16, 2020 I won a giveaway from XP-Pen for an Artist 15.6 Pro display tablet! Unfortunately, it got lost in the mail for about 20 days. And you need to uninstall other tablets to run it correctly, so I've been working on this piece off and on in between commissions and Patreon to make sure I don't change the quality of paid work. XP-Pen asked me to give them a review of the tablet, so I decided to jump right in and do this entire piece on the display (which is my first time even touching something like this, aaaa). Thank you so much to those at XP-Pen for hosting their giveaway and allowing me to now own this lovely display tablet! I've wanted one of these for years, so waiting for it to come in the mail was really difficult. I've owned various drawing tablets for the past 16 years, all with about 7-10" drawing areas. My current other drawing tablet is the Wacom Intuos S Bluetooth, which is dwarfed by the Artist 15.6 Pro (and is not a display tablet). So with that said, my review comes as someone entirely new to display tablets. Doing my best to re-train myself for this! My program of choice for my piece was Clip Studio Paint EX.

Once everything was plugged up and the driver installed, the display worked instantly. The hardest part was that I had to go to the website and find the driver myself, since there was no installation disc (so internet is required at some point). Sketching felt GREAT. It felt really freeing, like on paper. Lineart was also very easy to do, since I could freely draw over the sketch without jittering. I think I even turned my stabilizer off for a few parts! The hardest part for me was coloring. I have thin, tight lines, so coloring small parts in the lines got difficult. If I pressed softly, not much paint would come out. And harder presses might make too much. I imagine I will find a sweet spot in time. There was also a bit of a disconnect between the pen and screen when I was further toward the edges, so paint would appear a few pixels off of where I expected. I also found myself wanting to use the tablet as a touch screen to zoom in and out, as smart devices have taught me, so I had to keep teaching myself to use the wheel! I can't say I found quite a good work flow just yet, as I label my layers, and have to figure out how ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6urHS_GhEAY

Happy Halloween! Featuring my girls Leli and Lilith as a Lich and Vampire. Making of the background and green effects is missing, but the important part of the process is there. The process was done on stream, so the actual tools aren't shown, since there was an overlay on stream.

I didn't get the opportunity to work on publishable art this week, so here's a process from back in September 2017. It was a fanart piece for a game by the name of Keshtat, in production by Orion's Reverie. It was a really really really large piece, hence why the lines and some stylization is a bit different than usual. Hope you like it! --- Track: Far Out - Chains (feat.
